Dear All,

I have been looking at some images of the jewelry of the Phillips Brothers on the web.  It is stunning stuff at eye-watering prices.  And I discovered that he had top notch customers.

Jewels discovered in Thebes in 1859 were exhibited in London in 1863.  At much the same time the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) visited Thebes.  On his return he married Princess Alexandra of Denmark.  He commissioned Robert Phillips to create a suite of jewels based on the Egyptian discoveries as a wedding gift to his bride.  In a marble bust of the Princess of Wales by Mary Thornycroft the only ornament that she is wearing is a scarab brooch by Robert Phillips.

With his skill and the status that must have come with supplying Royal customers he was very well set up by the mid 1860s.

Hi Justin,

I think I missed the significance of this when you first mentioned it:

"I'd say there is a high likelihood of David Cohen being related to Jacob. Did you also know that Mordecai's daughter Henrietta married Moses (son of Abraham) Cohen in the Hambro synagogue in 1823?"

Who was Abraham was he related to Jacob Cohen husband of Catherine Cohen née Phillips? I have Solomon Phillips sister Susanna Selig married to a Casper Abraham Cohen, he was the son of Abraham Aron Cohen (1758–1817) and the brother of Moses Abraham Cohen is this the Moses you're talking about?   

Thanks

Leonard

Hello all,

I hope the attached family trees make things clearer for everyone. Part 2 in next post.

The wills of various members of the Friedeberg family are the key source of information. They have been summarised on the website SynagogueScribes.

What is your source, Leonard, for the sister of Solomon Phillips?

I was looking on Geni I know not great, but I went with it until otherwise proved wrong.
